Chapter Sixty-Seven: Someone Celebrates Another Birthday
The clouds rolled up, and in a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of the Marquis of Zhongyi.
Early in the morning, Bao Zhi was fiddled with cinnamon and dressed up, wearing a begonia color scattered gold silk placket on his half arm, with a magenta pleated makeup skirt, his thick black hair was pulled into a delicate flying fairy bun, and he wore a red gold silk inlaid ruby head given by Mrs. Zhao the day before yesterday.
I have to say that Cinnamon is still very discerning in terms of dressing, this body is cleaned up, and the Zhao family walked into the Heming Residence, and Mrs. Zhao pulled Baozhi in front of her, looked left and right, and praised Cinnamon for Baozhi's good dress.
Cousin Xingchen is the usual rich and gorgeous style, silver-red butterflies wear flower gowns, wearing lotus seeds and rice pearls given by Mrs. Zhao the day before yesterday, with her tall figure, she is charming and moving.
The time was almost up, and they were not good enough to arrive too late, so Bao Zhixingchen got into the carriage with the Sun family and went to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.
Along the way, Sun didn't say a word, she saw Baozhi and her heart was blocked, that day she also went into the palace with Uncle Zhao to pay homage, and also saw the performance of Baozhi and the princess, Yifu lived in a house and never knew that this girl had such ability, after hearing the emperor's heavy reward for her, she almost fainted. I really underestimated her at the beginning, but now that I have the emperor's favor, I can't move her even more, how can I make her not angry.
Today's Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is full of joy, the gate is open, and the walls facing the street are covered with dense red firecrackers. Baozhi and the others got off the carriage and changed into a soft sedan chair, and after half a cup of tea and entered the second gate, everyone got off the soft sedan chair, and went to the main hall with the mother-in-law who was waiting in the morning.
Xingchen whispered beside Baozhi's side: "I don't know if Jiying will come today." ”
Baozhi glanced at the Sun family, obviously Aunt Yan would not want the Sun family to know about the mess in Mafu, and whispered to Xingchen: "Cousin Jiying has a body, so she shouldn't come." After saying that, he tugged at Xingchen's sleeve and told her not to say any more.
As they spoke, they arrived at the main hall, and although they had come early, they had already been greeted by those who were kind to greet them, and when they arrived earlier, there were bursts of talking and laughter in the room.
Bao Zhi and Xingchen were led by the maid, entered the house, and worshiped the Hou of Zhongyi, the Hou Bao of Zhongyi had also seen once at this time in his previous life, different from Uncle Zhao's golden mean, he was a man with shrewdness all over his body, and only such a person could earn a place in the turbulent court at the threshold of the decline of the nobles now, and it was the Hou of Zhongyi Mansion who became the only one in the Mansion of Qi with real power.
"The in-laws have arrived." Mrs. Zhongyi Hou walked over slowly, and pulled the Sun family to introduce to everyone affectionately.
Baozhi and Xingchen stepped forward to pay homage to the Marquis of Zhongyi, and saluted respectfully, and the birthday greeting was almost the same wherever it was, and the two of them discussed it in advance, and said loudly: "I wish the old man of the in-laws a blessing like the East China Sea, and the sun and the moon are prosperous." ”
Zhongyihou accepted the gift, and Mrs. Zhongyihou hurriedly asked the maid to give her two embroidered bags.
There were many female dependents, so the Marquis of Zhongyi stopped staying in the inner courtyard, and strode towards the outer courtyard.
Mrs. Zhongyi Hou stretched out her hand to wrap up the two of them and introduced them to the wives: "This is our sister Hua'er's maiden sister. ”
A wife said flatteringly: "As soon as I entered the door, I thought, which lady is this, so standard, as soon as you say that it is our sister Hua'er, there is no need to make a fuss over there, their family is all like fairies." ”
This sentence speaks to Mrs. Zhongyihou's heart, she really likes Luohua's daughter-in-law, and she has no choice in her appearance and temperament, and the key is that she gave birth to two smart and handsome grandchildren.
"This is the girl who played the piano with the princess on the last day's festival." A lady recognized Baozhi at a glance as the most eye-catching lady who paid tribute to her birthday that day.
Bao Zhi smiled shyly, and the ruby tassel on his head trembled, making him even more delicate and cute.
"As soon as I felt that the girl was familiar, I was told by Sister Liu, but no, it is really a good blue heart, and I don't know which one can burn high incense in the future......" The latter words were not easy to say in front of the girl who had not left the cabinet, so the lady turned her tone and stopped saying it later.
If Zhao is here, he will definitely think about Baozhi's marriage, spend the two children, talk to the wives and ladies about which family has young talents of the right age, and talk to Baozhi.
But Sun pretended not to hear it, and everyone here was either rich or noble, so she was not so kind to find a good family for Baozhi.
Mrs. Zhongyihou wanted to take care of it, but if she got Zhongyihou's words, Baozhi's child's marriage couldn't be managed, so she didn't make a sound.
Tang Wan and her mother Wang came belatedly, and after some introductions and greetings, the three of Bao Zhi were supported to play.
They went out on the front foot, and Mrs. Liu, who had just been nominated by that lady, said to Mrs. Xu in a voice that was just enough for everyone present to hear: "Sister Xu, that Miss Zhang's family affairs, don't think about it, it was the queen mother who gave the third prince a look." ”
Everyone present was a little surprised at first, and then quickly realized, no wonder that such a family background can enter the palace and be accompanied by the princess.
Baozhi and the others went out, and followed the maid to another courtyard where they came out to entertain the ladies and ladies.
"Because of this performance, my mother and grandmother are very energetic, and they have to dig out my talent in piano music, these days, I am about to make them crazy, I want to go directly to the barracks in advance." Tang Wan complained to Baozhi in frustration.
These days, Xingchen and Tang Wan are familiar with each other, and the two girls with similar temperaments can be considered compatible: "Are you really going to the barracks?" Can the girl stand it? ”
Bao Zhidao: "You can see the thin cocoon on her hand that has been sharpened by the spear, and you will know how much blood and sweat she has paid to kill the enemy one day." After speaking, he glanced at Tang Wan deeply.
There are less than two years left before her and her death, and soon, her wish will be granted. Baoyuki was happy for her.
Xingchen really pulled Tang Wan's hand and looked, Tang Wan's hand was very good-looking, slender and symmetrical, and there was a thin layer of cocoons at the tiger's mouth, which would not be obvious if you didn't look closely.
"How many times did my mother quarrel with my father for this cocoon in my hand, and how many ways did she find it, so that it became what it is today." Although Tang Wan said casually, Baozhi knew that she didn't want the Wang family to worry about her.
Then Tang Wan swept away the depression and replaced it with the hearty one of the past: "You went to Ma's house to make a fuss before?" I've heard it all, and it's a real pleasure. ”
Baozhi wanted to tell her, but she was going to enter the palace in two days, and she forgot about it in a hurry. Fortunately, Tang Wan is not like Yongning, and she will not care about such a trivial matter.
"Where did you find out? I wanted to tell you, but I never had a chance to say it, who else knows about it? ”
"Don't worry, Zhou Yi came to investigate, and no one outside knows except me." After all, it is about the reputation of Baozhi, that is, there are signs outside, and she has to find a way to suppress it.
